Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall

The Panthers kept it disciplined and banked a B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Panthers spent the 83rd pick on Malachi Lawrence, a name most had 60 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Getting Thieneman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in slot 51: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the 63rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence in Round 3, Pick 19 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in pick 119 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
